As long as the report loop checks Session("cancel") it should get the
current value. Unless for some reason the second frame connection is
creating a new session. Are cookies disabled on the client?

No inheritance of any kind, it's strictly interpreted script. ASP.NET
overcomes this problem very nicely, all languages are first-class OO with
compilation and caching.
